BBL talk.

Watching the Renegades go down with injury after injury maybe they will rethink basing themselves in Footscray? It just seems that elite sporting teams located in Footscray are a bit jinxed when it comes to injuries!

I'm watching the BBL tonight and I though Nevill was very good behind the stumps especially to the spin bowlers.

Pattinson took a few wickets but David Hussey really slapped one over of his.

That Hussey over is where Stars got momentum. Pattinson kept dropping the ball too short and Hussey was hooking or flat batting him over cover for six. It was a silly over.

To be honest, I think Nevill's keeping has been poor ever since he was dropped from the Test team. And Pattinson's bowling has been a disaster.

Me and my son are Renegades members for the first time this year, and will be going along tonight. Must win game tonight, and need good performances from those two.

Go the Footscray Renegades!

BBL is on my TV most nights but I barely watch a ball - it is the elevator music of world sport. There is no investment in the teams, either from the fans or the players - it is entertainment for entertainment's sake.

That's not to say it is worthless - it just is what it is.

Absolutely. It's not even as prestigious as the Escort Cup but it's fun. I actually watch the games

Ozza picked a good night. Renegades hit a Big Bash record score and Tom Cooper is bowling superbly.

This is amazing batting from Ben McDermott.

Fantastic display. He played a poor shot for his dismissal but I'm not convinced the umpire made the right call.

Pattinson isn't a smart bowler and that full toss he was called for was a front foot no ball as well.

Wickets are sort of tumbling and George has lifted the tempo. He's not a great cricketer but he makes the most of his ability

I tuned in after tuning out after Bonts. Crazy, even for T20.

Nup. Change that. I am *!*!*!*!ing ropable the Renegades lost that. I'd run Periera over with my car and the way I feel at the moment if back over him a couple of times just so he could see how to finish a *!*!*!*!ing job off.

I'd do Blocker *!*!*!*!ing Wilson slowly too. No way was that a wide. Peter Neville can get his gear together and *!*!*!*! off back to NSW as well. It's a privilege to be allowed to play for a Melbourne sporting team, and he's lost that right.


I don't care that it's only BBL. I *!*!*!*!ing hate losing. I couldn't give a rats arse if it was tiddlywinks.

Wow what a chase, great win. Agree with TD Periera very disappointing.

He looked like a rabbit in the headlights in that last over. I don't know how much more support Finch could have given him but he looked like he was thinking "I'm gonna bowl a shit ball here because the last ball I bowled was shit." And sure enough. He was cooked before he'd bowled a ball.

I need to put a warning on the forum that viewer discretion is advised

Classic TD response a few posts above. I get a few text messages like that most weeks and if I'm having a tough day at work it generally perks me up. I've read it 3 times now and I'm still having a chuckle.
